There was a great turn out for the Chamber's Endorsed Candidates Reception. The Chamber's Political Action Committee endorsed more candidates for the upcoming election than ever before.

Our membership showed up to get to know and support these candidates. Among those that attended were Congressman Mike Thompson, Assemblymember Marc Levine, Assemblymember candidate Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Board of Supervisors 5th District candidate Lynda Hopkins, Santa Rosa Mayor John Sawyer, Vice Mayor Tom Schwedhelm, City Council member and candidate Ernesto Olivares, City Council candidates Jack Tibbetts, Chris Rogers and Don Taylor, Santa Rosa City School Board member and candidate Jenni Klose, School Board candidates Evelyn Anderson and Ed Sheffield, and SRJC Board of Trustees Rick Call and Don Edgar.

Guests enjoyed brief remarks from Congressman Mike Thompson, Chamber PAC Chair Steve Schofield and Chamber CEO Jonathan Coe. It was a beautiful evening to gather at La Rosa Tequileria & Grille in Downtown Santa Rosa with views overlooking the progress on Courthouse Square.
